ABSTRACT:
A suspension strut top mount having a bearing connection onto a vehicle body and a spring retainer for a vehicle support. The spring retainer is set obliquely relative to a central axis of a suspension strut. The suspension strut top mount further has an obliquely set bearing arranged between the bearing connection and the spring retainer and has a bearing input part, which is associated with the bearing connection, and a bearing output part, which is associated with the spring retainer. A stop buffer, which is arranged concentrically to the central axis of the suspension strut, comes into contact on a cylinder-end surface of the suspension strut in a defined spring compression position. The stop buffer has an effective connection to the bearing output part of the bearing.
